Objective(s): To establish and describe the `Value Orientation Profile' of the Copper Inuit; to explore the implications of this profile to the delivery of health care to the Copper Inuit.
Project Description: `Value Orientation Profiles' have been used to describe the values of various cultural groups as well as to compare cultural groups to identify areas of conflict. Copper Inuit adults will be interviewed for approximately 45 minutes during which time they will be asked to answer questions about hypothetical situations. Answers to these questions will be examined in light of existing health care that is currently provided to this group.
